Emotional Songs - Post your songs

Post Reply New Topic

A thread to say what's the most likely song you will play depending on your mood...
So I'll give you a few of mine so you get the idea.
Energetic - Song 2 by Blur
Depressed - Today by Smashing Pumpkins
Silly - All Star by Smashmouth
Fantastic - Times Like These by Foo Fighters
Lovesick - The Kill by 30 Seconds to Mars or Miss You by blink-182
Chilled - Corner of the Earth by Jamiroquai
Annoyed - Nobody's Listening by Linkin Park

I generally keep my music upbeat. I stay far, far away from music I know is going to make me sad or unhappy.

I can't verbalize how I feel very well. But listening to music definitely helps with the emotional things. It's more about what emotions the music will invoke for me, so I use music to more or less control my emotions. When I do play music, usually it's to invoke like, experience, I guess, remind me of a past event, etc, and the events would pretty much only apply to me. I can't say the emotions the experiences made me feel very well, but then I use a song to like, replay the experience I guess. It's sorta weird. I don't really like "dark" or "angry" music very much anymore, though, as I don't wanna replay dark and angry experiences.

So here's some songs I like, I guess, apply your own emotions to them I guess.
Kyosuke Himuro - Kiss Me
Kiyotaka Sugiyama - Sayonara Ocean
Shenmue - Shenfa (Vocal version)
Ryuichi Sakamoto - Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence
TM Network - Beyond the Time

I do like songs that encourage me, while still evoking experiences. Songs like this Gundam opening:

Gundam 08th MS Team - 10 Years After

But yeah.

Let me try:

Happy: 'Breathe In', by Lucie Silvas

Sad: 'Provider', by N*E*R*D

Angry: '40 Oz' by D12

That's it for now.

Off the top of my head -

Energetic: Electricity by Suede.

Depressed: Nothing Lasts Forever by Echo & The Bunnymen

Silly: Dan Abnormal by Blur

Fantastic: Not entirely sure what it means in this context... The second verse of Faith & Healing by Ian McCulloch is a bit dream-like, but it's not a happy song naturally.

Lovesick: You Really Got Me - The Kinks, I Only Think of You - The Horrors, Something Changed - Pulp

Chilled: The Vaselines - Son of a Gun

Annoyed: Yes by Manic Street Preachers

Ooh, now I want to play with the emotions you and Bun listed:

Energetic: 'Some Like It Hot', by Power Station

Depressed: 'Push And Pull', by Nikka Costa

Silly: 'Doing Our Own Dang' by Jungle Brothers

Fantastic: 'The Edge Of Heaven', by Wham!

Lovesick: 'Ai Dake Ga' by Emi Hinouchi (Japanese)

Chilled: 'Boogie 2Nite' by Tweet

Annoyed: 'Fat Lip' by Sum41

Many emotional songs are also in the depressive music thread.

Comfortably Numb, featuring Bob geldorf, David Gilmore on acoustic and electric guitar, and a stunning young lady on cello.

Oh yes, the title has often described how I have numbed down my feelings
